“The Pressure” was actually just a song I had put out for fun. I wanted to try something new with that instrumental and with the songwriting. My aim was to tell a story by using a fringe story in addition. The main story of the song is about my struggle in the music industry while the fringe story s...
"THE PRESSURE (FREESTYLE)"
[verse:]
I told my girl: "Don't wait up for me, you might never see the sun
By the time I hit my pinnacle, your feelings will be gone
If I ain't the one to make it out then tell me who's the one?
All this pressure on my shoulders and it's hard to brush it off"
Took my ass out of the city, told my niggas buckle up
This for all the ones who feel me, feel like you ain't done enough
Reason why my thoughts are spinning and my pen is bleeding out
All my demons reappear as soon the sun's settling down, ahh
Pedal to the floor, I'm doin' 90 on the highway
Who'da thought that boy with nappy hair could get this far by writing
All his feelings on a napkin, still I'm fucking underrated
Always home but hardly reppin', shouting out to Berne my city
How you feel when they keep saying that your good ain't good enough?
Still, you killing every feature and the ones that put you on?
Yesterday, Ben told me:"CK, stay committed to the music
Cuz we do it for the love and you don't need to put tags on it
Told him:"Brother, I been slept on for my whole damn life
And I don't mean to say you wrong because you goddamm right
But I want all of my respect cuz in this game there ain't no ties
Either you the best or noone's ever giving you their time
I told my girl: "Don't wait up for me" she might never see the sun
By the time I hit my pinnacle, her feelings will be gone
If I ain't the one to make it out then tell me who's the one?
All this pressure on my shoulders but my heart is beating calm
